Every week we try to feature a song that seems to be capturing the
attention of our network of worship leaders and musicians in a unique
way. If you pay attention to the
Top 25 This Week
list, you'll see a constant revolving door as new songs are added to
the catalog, and the great songs quickly rise to the surface. Some
songs stay around for a long time, others rise and fall very quickly.
Every song seems to find it's special place in the heart of
congregations around the world.
Tommy Walker
is no stranger to song writing and worship leading. I met him at GMA
in Nashville a few weeks ago at the top of the hotel elevator. He gave
me a firm little nudge, wondering why his album hadn't shown up on
PraiseCharts yet.
We love Tommy Walker and I know that thousands of
our worship leaders love his music. This album,
I Have A Hope,
kind of represents a new beginning for Tommy, back in the fold with
Maranatha Music. I've heard lots of rumors that this is his best album
ever - and that says a lot, considering the giant songs he has written
in the past. But, as you might expect, it only took a few weeks for
his
title song to creep its way into our Top 25 list. If you are looking for a song of encouragement and hope, this is it!
